Graphics issues on Nvidia cards (DirectX 11)
Nvidia's more recent graphics drivers are incompatible with Dragon Age II and cause all kinds of glitches in the DX11 renderer.
The last compatible driver version is 340.52 ( 32 bit | 64 bit ). If...

Yes lets hope but fact that the game is amd show cased game it will prob run better on amd im pretty sure i read all gameplay they shown on pc was on amd hardware.
No luck with the new drivers, and nothing else to update. It's playable, obviously and not all that annoying, but I just don't want to run into the same issue with DA:I.
- Can someone use Nvidia Inspector to export the DA2 profile from the working driver (340.52) and give me a link to it? If it is something that can be fixed via internal compatibility flags I'll get a fix for everyone asap. If it's something in the actual driver code, we'll have to wait for Nvidia. My system with Nvidia hardware is being actively used for indie game engine development so I can not afford the downtime to switch to that driver, export the profile and go back to the latest. So if someone is currently using that driver or can do the switch to export the profile, it would let me help all of us🙂 If you want to help but need directions on how to export the DA2 profile let me know and I'll guide you through!
I'm willing to do this, but, in general, kind of a scaredy-cat about rolling back for test purposes, especially with Inquisition right around the corner. Are there any potential problems I might have? And yeah, I don't know how to use the Inspector.
Edited to add that I'm not even sure I've ever had that driver on this laptop.

No you should have no problems by rolling back a driver. Follow the procedure here to uninstall current driver and install previous: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/327414-nvidia-drivers-avoid-problems.html
It simple and straightforward.
Regarding extracting the profile, this is how you do it. You download NVidia Inspector from here: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/nvidia-inspector-download.html
1) Now Run Inspector, and look at the center of its window and to the right there's a button showing a screwdriver crossed with a wrench. If you mouse over it it says "Driver (256+) Profile Settings". Clck that and a new window will open.
2) On this new window use the drop down menu called "Profiles" on the top left to find the profile named "Dragon Age 2".
3) Now find the little icon to the right of the Profiles drop down menu, that shows an upward green arrow. If you mouseover it it will say "Export user defined profiles".
4) Press that button and select "Export current selected profile only" and save the file on your desktop as DA2.nip. Then click the little button again but this time select "Export all driver profiles (Nvidia Test Format) and save the file on your desktop as Profiles.txt
5) Now upload these 2 files somewhere like dropbox or whatever and send me the link🙂 If you don't have anywhere to upload them to, then use pastebin.com. Open them both with notepad and copy paste the contents to pastebin.com. Send me the generated pastebin links🙂
6) Go back to the latest driver🙂
